Teach git-rebase -i a new option --root, which instructs it to rebase
the entire history leading up to <branch>. This is mainly for
symmetry with ordinary git-rebase; it cannot be used to edit the root
commit in-place (it requires --onto <newbase>). Commits that already
exist in <newbase> are skipped.
In the normal mode of operation, this is fairly straightforward. We
run cherry-pick in a loop, and cherry-pick has supported picking the
root commit since f95ebf7 (Allow cherry-picking root commits,
2008-07-04).
In --preserve-merges mode, we track the mapping from old to rewritten
commits and use it to update the parent list of each commit. In this
case, we define 'rebase -i -p --root --onto $onto $branch' to rewrite
the parent list of all root commit(s) on $branch to contain $onto
instead.

Teach git-rebase a new option --root, which instructs it to rebase the
entire history leading up to <branch>. This option must be used with
--onto <newbase>, and causes commits that already exist in <newbase>
to be skipped. (Normal operation skips commits that already exist in
<upstream> instead.)
One possible use-case is with git-svn: suppose you start hacking
(perhaps offline) on a new project, but later notice you want to
commit this work to SVN. You will have to rebase the entire history,
including the root commit, on a (possibly empty) commit coming from
git-svn, to establish a history connection. This previously had to
be done by cherry-picking the root commit manually.

When parsing commits, gitk treats the headers of the commit as tcl
lists. This causes errors if the header contains an unbalanced quote
or open brace. Splitting the line on spaces allows us to treat it as
a set of words instead of as a tcl list, which prevents errors.

Consider this sequence of events:
1. Detach HEAD and fire up gitk
2. Call the context menu on some commit. Notice that the last menu entry
says "Detached HEAD: can't reset" and it is disabled.
3. Now checkout some regular branch (e.g. 'master') using the context menu.
4. Call the context menu again on some commit.
Previously, at this point the last menu entry said "Reset master branch
to here", but it was still disabled. With this fix it is now enabled again.

The program flow of pushing over http is:
- call lock_remote() to issue a DAV_LOCK request to the server to lock
info/refs and branch refs being pushed into; handle_new_lock_ctx() is
used to parse its response to populate "struct remote_lock" that is
returned from lock_remote();
- send objects;
- call unlock_remote() to drop the lock.
The handle_new_lock_ctx() function assumed that the server will use a
lock token in opaquelocktoken URI scheme, which may have been an Ok
assumption under RFC 2518, but under RFC 4918 which obsoletes the older
standard it is not necessarily true.
This resulted in push failure (often resulted in "cannot lock existing
info/refs" error message) when talking to a server that does not use
opaquelocktoken URI scheme.

I want directories of my working tree to be linked to from various
paths on my filesystem where third-party components expect them, both
in development and production environments. A build system's install
step could solve this, but I develop scripts and web pages that don't
need to be built. Git's submodule system could solve this, but we
tend to develop, branch, and test those directories all in unison, so
one big repository feels more natural. We prefer to edit and commit
on the symlinked paths, not the canonical ones, and in that setting,
"git pull" fails to find the top-level directory of the repository
while other commands work fine.
"git pull" fails because POSIX shells have a notion of current working
directory that is different from getcwd(). The shell stores this path
in PWD. As a result, "cd ../" can be interpreted differently in a
shell script than chdir("../") in a C program. The shell interprets
"../" by essentially stripping the last textual path component from
PWD, whereas C chdir() follows the ".." link in the current directory
on the filesystem. When PWD is a symlink, these are different
destinations. As a result, Git's C commands find the correct
top-level working tree, and shell scripts do not.
Changes:
* When interpreting a relative upward (../) path in cd_to_toplevel,
prepend the cwd without symlinks, given by /bin/pwd
* Add tests for cd_to_toplevel and "git pull" in a symlinked
directory that failed before this fix, plus contrasting scenarios
that already worked
